When is a clutch also a clock? When it’s the new S/S13 Anya Hindmarch Duke, of course. Another key bag for the British brand after the Bathurst, the Duke is inspired by trinket boxes from the Georgian era, in a time when excess was the norm and everyday items, down to a hair brush, would be ornately glided and finished.

In keeping with this tradition, the Duke Clock is all that and more by way of the clock that actually works, and presented in a carved wooden box that you can store the clutch in when not in use.

Truly novel, it will also work well as an heirloom keepsake given how unique it is.

Measuring 21 cm by 14 cm, there are also satin inlay variations available, the inlays decorated with maps of cities from eras past, including those of 19th century Tokyo and New York City, both of which are shown above. Priced between SGD1960 toSGD7400, you can now view (and purchase) these gems of a clutch from the Anya Hindmarch boutique within Takashimaya Department Store.
